TO THE CLERGY 



PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH. 



The writer has been in the habit for several years past, 
of preparing for his own use, a programme, more or less 
like the one now offered. This is the first one he has ever 
printed, except an occasional programme of Lenten Ser- 
vices, mainly intended for congregational use. 

The expediency and practicability of a previous arrange 
ment of Themes and Texts for the Ecclesiastical Year, 
have been confirmed by the past experience of the writer 
However, notwithstanding a previous arrangement, as 
above named, he has often felt at liberty to depart from it, 
as circumstances have suggested. 

The accompanying Programme is published mainly in 
accordance with the wishes of several clerical brethren, 
who have kindlv intimated that it might be useful to the 
younger clergy ;— useful, if not in the selection of Themes' 
Texts, &c, it might be so at least, in the Plan herewith 
submitted. 

The writer, in conclusion, takes this opportunity of say- 
ing, that he is now preparing a Programme for the Eccle- 
siastical Year of 1856-7, with blanks for the Subject, Text? 



4 PREFACE. 

Psalm and Hymn, which the clergyman can fill up for him- 
self. There will, however, be an Appendix containing 
Subjects and Texts, taken mainly from the Lessons, Gospel 
and Epistle for the Day, together with suitable Psalms and 
Hymns. Due notice will be given of its publication. 

Your Brother in Christ,
